Across The Universe Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Beatles
Review The Song (22)Print the Lyrics
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass ,they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my opened ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying Love which shines around me like a
million suns, It calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva

Review about Across The Universe

...please | Reviewer: Gianni | 4/16/2008
    If your going to talk about how great this song is, and all that, get the lyrics right..."They slither wildly as they slip away"...

    And Jai Guru Deva Om means...
    Nothings going to change my world...

    For those who don't understand...



    yes it's true | Reviewer: carly | 2/27/2008

    On the soundtrack of Across The Universe and on the movie he says "They slither while they pass they slip away." but the original song (which I just listened to on I-tunes)he says "they slither wildly as they make there way across the universe" so therefore I think it's not such a crime because they changed a few words...



    Nothings going to change my world | Reviewer: ec! | 2/25/2008

    Does it really matter what the exact lyrics are? I mean seriously. You hear it the way you want to, not the way somebody else wants you to. Just listen, and think of it your own way.
    And yes I'm one of those people who watched Across the Universe and fell in love with the Beatles. I really don't think it should matter how you became to like them.
    Such a good song though! Kudos!



    What the?? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/16/2008

    This is probably the worst attempt at transcribing lyrics I have ever seen. There are plenty mistakes, as people have pointed out... but where the Hell did they get "James gonna devive, them,"??? I've always known it as "Jai guru deva om"

    Anyway, with that said, this is such a great song.



    Lyrics | Reviewer: Jet | 2/9/2008

    I've heard "They slither as they pass they slip away" and "They slither wildy as they slip away". Actually, the latter is very distinct on Bowie's cover. I don't listen to the Beatles much, but this is an outstanding song. Lyrical genius.



    nothings gonna change YOUR world | Reviewer: lennon | 1/12/2008

    remarkable.
    whatever you want to sing,
    sing it with your heart, what does it matter if you get the lyrics right or wrong, if you have good intent. Its going to be okay whether you say they slither widly as they slip away or slither while they pass.. maybe its all wrong.. but its still the beatles.



    straight from Liverpool | Reviewer: liz | 1/7/2008

    the lyrics are definitely "they slither wildy as they slip away across the universe". don't think that just because it's on the soundtrack of the movie, that it makes it right. the songs on the movie may be Beatles songs, but the members of the band didn't make the movie, and they didn't record the songs all over again just for the movie that they didn't make. that would be a little difficult considering the fact that two of my personal favourites are making music in heaven now. may John and George's souls rest in peace..



    to those who Slither Wildly | Reviewer: Total and Free Spirit of the Universe | 12/30/2007

    Why not sing it like YOU want to sing it. Its a freee universe. Star Speckled Banana and every other song.
    But as voiced by John Lennon himself, in an ultra rare recording, I think he knows better than anyone here today, it is,
    "They slither wildly, as they slip away across the universe..
    Sort of like in the verse: They tumble blindly as they make their way Across the universe.
    He was good at grammer, using "as" in the same place
    The word, "As" is very audible.
    How could it be: They slither while as they slip away? Doesn't sound right. It isn't.
    DONE>>
    I really like the line: Jai guru diva, om.
    I would recommend to everyone that you, Slither Wildly in whatever you are doing in this universe.
    It is a beautiful song.




    Just a correction. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/17/2007

    Those of you claiming that the song says "They slither while they pass" apparently need to listen to any Beatles version of the song. Whether it be Let It Be, Let It Be...Naked, Anthology 2, or Acoustic Submarine, it clearly says "They slither wildly as they slip away." Even the David Bowie cover has this line.

    In fact, the only versions of the song that have the lyric "They slither while they pass" is Fiona Apple's cover for the movie Pleasantville and Rufus Wainwright's cover for the movie I Am Sam. I can't check the Across The Universe (movie) version, as I don't have a soundtrack, but the lyrics on this page are correct.

    Anyways, phenomenal song. I used to listen to it all the time when I was growing up. Revolver, The White Album and Let It Be did a lot for me.



    Love it | Reviewer: Emily R. | 11/30/2007

    Ricci and Sam are very correct. I know this song by heart and it is infact They slither while they slip away across the universe. I also would recomend seeing this movie. I've cried durring it twice because it is very heart touching. I may be young but i love the beatles and i hope that their legacy lives on in our hearts and lives.
